Synopsis
In The Snowball Effect, the newly appointed president of a university, Dr. Halloway, faces a daunting challenge. The institution is on probation due to financial mismanagement, particularly concerning its football program. However, the board of trustees has a more pressing concern: the viability of the sociology department. Dr. Halloway is informed that every department must be self-sustaining, or faculty members will be let go. The pressure mounts as he realizes that sociology, often viewed with skepticism, must prove its worth to secure funding.
